Real Madrid forward James Rodriguez has put Manchester United on red alert after signalling his desire to move to the Premier League this summer, according to the Spanish press on Saturday morning.

Rodriguez, 25, fell out of favour with Rafa Benitez and Zinedine Zidane last season, leading to links with a move away from the Santiago Bernabeu this summer.

The front page of daily 'Marca' on Saturday run with the headline 'The Premier League tempts James', with United's efforts to lead a potential bidding war amongst England's top clubs causing the player to have doubts over his future.

The former Porto star may have to seek pastures new after being somewhat marginalised in the Spanish capital, despite still making 26 league appearances last term.

Madrid are reportedly willing to listen to offers starting at £67million (€80m). Should they decide to cash in on the Colombian, Zidane may reinvest some of the money in Brazilian Gabriel Jesus.

The 19-year-old Palmeiras forward, who is set to light up the Olympic Games in Rio, would cost €24m (around £20m), plus €10m (£8m) in commissions, and has asked to stay on loan for a year and a half at his club in Brazil.

Zidane returns to training with 14 players on Saturday, and Spanish daily 'AS' reports that Los Blancos have taken the lead over rivals Barca, who have previously come to close to striking a deal for Gabriel.
